Description
The present invention relates to a card connector and
a portable telephone having the same, and more particularly to
a card connector suitable for connection of a subscriber
identification module (SIM) card and a portable telephone
having the same.
Conventionally, as a card connector of this type, a
contacting device for an identification card disclosed in, for
example, Japanese Patent No. 2,574,710 has been known.
Disclosed in Fig. 5 of this patent publication is a contacting
device for an identification card having contact regions
arranged in two rows (A, B), wherein two sets of contact members
81 and 82 having the same length are arranged in an
interdigitated manner, and terminations of the contact members
81 and 82 are disposed on the opposite side. Further, in Fig.
6 of the aforementioned patent publication, there is disclosed
a contacting device for an identification card having contact
regions arranged in two rows (A, B), wherein two sets of contact
members 10 and 11 having mutually different lengths are arranged
alternately, and terminations of the contact members 10 and 11
are arranged on the same side.
However, with the contacting device for an
identification card disclosed in the aforementioned Fig. 5, if
sliding insertion is assumed, since the terminations of the
portions of the contact portions 81 and 82 which come into
contact with contacts 1 of the card are mutually reversely
oriented with respect to the card fitting direction in the
same way as Fig. 1 of the aforementioned publication, there
has been a risk that the front end of the inserted card
collides against the contact members when the card is
slidingly fitted.
In addition, with the contacting device for an
identification card disclosed in Fig. 6, even is sliding
insertion is assumed, since the terminations of the
portions of the contact portions 10 and 11 which come into
contact with the contacts 1 of the card are oriented in the
same direction in the same way as Fig. 2 of the
aforementioned publication, there is no risk that the front
end of the card collides against the contact members when
the card is fitted. However, since the terminations of the
contact portions 10 and 11 are arranged on the same side,
soldering with respect to a printed circuit board is
performed only on one side, so that there has been a
problem in that the printed circuit board cannot be stably
fixed.
US-A-5823828 discloses an electrical connector for
receiving a card, wherein contact portions of contact
members are located so that the card does not collide with
the contact members when the card is slidingly fitted.
WO 98/13784 discloses an electrical connector for
receiving a planar electronic module, wherein contact
members are disposed such that terminal ends of said
contact members are mutually opposing.
The invention has been devised to overcome the above-described
problems, and its object is to provide a card
connector capable of effecting stable fixation to the
printed circuit board and of preventing the collision at
the time of the fitting of the card, as well as a portable
telephone having the same.
In accordance with the invention, there is provided a
card connector including a base member and two contact
members which are provided on the base member and whose one
ends serve as joining portions with respect to a circuit
board and whose other ends serve as contact portions with
respect to a card, wherein the joining portions of the two
contact members are respectively disposed at mutually
opposite ends of the base member, wherein the contact
portions of the two contact members have termination free
ends, and wherein when viewed in a direction perpendicular
to a card fitting direction, the contact portion of one of
the contact members is located between the termination free
end and the joining portion of the one of the contact
members, and the termination free end of the other of the
contact members is located between the joining portion and
the contact portion of the other of the contact members.
By virtue of this construction, the card connector can be
fixed stably to the circuit board at the joining portions,
and it is possible to prevent the collision of the front
end of the card against the contact portions at the time of
the fitting of the card.
Hereafter, a description will be given of an
embodiment of the invention with reference to the drawings.
Figs. 1(a) and 1(b) are diagrams illustrating a card
connector in accordance with an embodiment of the
invention. Here, Fig. 1(a) is a plan view, and Fig. 1(b) is
a cross-sectional view.
As shown in Figs. 1(a) and 1(b), a card connector 1 is
composed of a plate-like base member 2, two sets of contact
members 3 and 4 fixed to the base member 2, and a pair of
holding portions 9. The base member 2 has a substantially
rectangular planar shape, and its left end side is formed
to be wide. In the drawings, a card is loaded by being
slid on the card connector 1 from the right-hand side
toward the left-hand side. It should
be noted that, in the description that follows, the direction
in which the card advances during the loading of the card is
assumed to be the forward direction.
The set of three contact members 3 are formed by thin
elongated metal pieces, and joining portions 5 which are
soldered to a printed circuit board (not shown) are respectively
provided at their ends where the card is fitted, while contact
portions 7 which come into contact with the contacts of the card
are respectively provided at the other ends. Each contact
member 3 extends in such a manner as to creep into the interior
of the base member 2 from an end face of the base member 2 on
the card fitting side thereof and then advance straight. Then,
the contact member 3 is exposed from a wall surface of a through
hole 10 with a rectangular cross section formed in the base
member 2 in correspondence with the contact portion 7. Further,
the contact member 3 is bent upward from a substantially central
portion in the through hole 10, becomes higher than the obverse
surface (upper surface) of the base member 2 and forms a peak
7a, and the contact member 3 is subsequently bent downward to
its termination. In other words, the contact portion 7 is bent
in a chevron shape and has a termination in the card fitting
direction.
Meanwhile, the contact members 4 are formed by thin
elongated metal pieces, and joining portions 6 which are
soldered to the printed circuit board are respectively provided
at their ends away from the card fitting side, while contact
portions 8 which come into contact with the contacts of the card
are respectively provided at the other ends. Each contact
member 4 extends in such a manner as to creep into the interior
of the base member 2 from an end face opposite to its card fitting
side, and the contact member 4 is bent leftward in terms of its
advancing direction before a through hole 11 with a rectangular
cross section formed in the base member 2 in correspondence with
the contact portion 8. Then, the contact member 4 advances
straight in parallel with the through hole 11, and its direction
is reversed after the contact member 4 has gone beyond the
through hole 11, and the contact member 4 is exposed from a wall
surface of the through hole 11 on the card fitting side thereof.
Further, the contact member 4 is bent upward from a
substantially central portion of the interior of the through
hole 11, becomes higher than the obverse surface (upper surface)
of the base member 2 and forms a peak 8a, and the contact member
4 is subsequently bent downward to its termination. In other
words, the contact portion 8 is bent in a chevron shape and has
a termination in the card fitting direction. Thus, as the
direction of the contact members 4 is reversed, the provision
of the joining portions 6 on the side away from the joining
portions 5 and the alignment of the direction of the contact
portions 8 with the direction of the contact portions 7 are made
compatible.
The pair of holding portions 9 are respectively
attached to both side ends of a widened portion of the base member
2. The holding portions 9 are formed by bending a thin metal
plate, and their one ends are respectively fixed to the side
ends of the widened portion. By virtue of their resiliency,
the holding portions 9 press from above and hold both sides of
a front portion of the card fitted to the card connector 1.
Next, with reference to Figs. 2 (a) and 2(b), a
description will be given of the procedure of fitting the card.
When the card 21 is fitted to the card connector, a front end
(left end in the drawing) of the card 21 is adjusted to the right
ends of the holding portions 9, and the card 21 is slid leftward
while passing between the holding members 9 of the base member
2. At this time, the contact portions 7 and 8 of the contact
members 3 and 4 are pressed by the lower surface of the card
21, are deflected downward in the through holes 10 and 11, and
assume a state of being accommodated in the through holes 10
and 11, respectively, as indicated at the broken lines in the
drawing. In addition, both contact portions 7 and 8 become
gradually high from the card fitting side, and after forming
the peak 8a, they are bent downward up to their terminations,
so that a situation does not occur in which the front end of
the card 21 collides against the contact portions 7 and 8 and
damage the contact portions 7 and 8. It should be noted that
a rear end portion of the card 21 is held by, for instance, an
inner wall surface of the housing of the portable telephone,
as will be described later.
Fig. 3 is a diagram for explaining the portable
telephone having the card connector in accordance with the
embodiment of the invention. This drawing shows a reverse
surface-side housing 31. An opening 32 for attaching a
cover-cum-battery is formed in this reverse surface-side
housing 31 in such a manner as to extend from a substantially
central portion to a lower edge thereof. A printed circuit
board 33 of the main body of the portable telephone is exposed
in the opening, and the card connector 1 is fixed on it by
soldering. Preferably, a projection is formed in advance at
a position which opposes the contact portions 7 when the
cover-cum-battery is fitted in the opening 32, so as to hold
the rear end portion of the card when the card is fitted.
Thus, with the card connector 1 in accordance with the
embodiment of the invention, since the joining portions 5 and
6 at both ends of the base member 2 are joined to the printed
circuit board, the base member 1 can be stably fixed to the
printed circuit board. In addition, since the contact
portions 7 and 8 are bent in the chevron shape, and have
terminations in the card fitting direction, it is possible
to prevent the front end of the card from colliding against
the contact members at the time of the loading of the card.
As described above, in accordance with the invention,
it is possible to provide a card connector having excellent
advantages in that the card connector can be fixed stably
to the circuit board, and that it is possible to prevent
the collision of the front end of the card against the
contact portions at the time of the fitting of the card.
